Picongpu: Mysterious simulation

[cbontoiu]

Hello, I have a new problem to understand on a simulation which appears to run smoothly but gives me no results at all. Here are my obsevations:
1) The simulation starts with very large number of cells "128 2400 136" but it failed to start with lower number before as for example "128 400 136" with the error
Unhandled exception of type 'St13runtime_error' with message '/home/quasar/src/spack/opt/spack/linux-linuxmint19-skylake/gcc-7.4.0/picongpu-develop-mj3nuf2bhcds4wi6bni6m2v6jdbamvur/thirdParty/alpaka/include/alpaka/event/EventCudaRt.hpp(183) 'ret = cudaEventQuery( event.m_spEventImpl->m_CudaEvent)' returned error : 'cudaErrorIllegalAddress': 'an illegal memory access was encountered'!', terminating

2) There is an extremely large field which appears just for an instance and vanishes for all future iterations

3) There is data in the h5 files because they are as large as 6 GB each

4) The simulation runs very fast

Here is the whole folder
hex-tube-thick-parallel-C (copy 1).zip
Any suggestion about what happens is highly appreciated.
Thank you.

I tried to compile your setup: the result was a compile time error because the Courant Friedrichs Levy condition was not valid.
The YeePML solver missed in older PIConGPU versions before #3209 the check. It could be that you running an older (a few days/weeks) version.

So I need to uninstall and install again the @develop version. Indeed the time step was wrong because I need to insert manually it every time and I missed it. I thought that anyway the behaviour was strange and might help you to block the execution in such contidions.
Thank you!
